may have been laid out to form columns. If you find such
items in apparent disarray, please adjust your font settings.

3. This FAQ includes some examples illustrating experience
we have gained from other people's experience installing the

=============================

A self-extracting Zip file is attached to this message. It's
name is "shlwp9en.exe", and, when run, it will offer to
place the file shlwp9en.dll into c:\Temp. This file actually
belongs in c:\windows (for win95 and win98 users) or
c:\winnt (for Windows NT 4 users).

=============================
1. Introduction
=============================

The US English version of WordPerfect Office Suite 2000
(WPO2K) SP2 is again available on the Corel FTP site.

The files are named WP9SP2.exe (application updates) and
WP9SP2_2.exe (documentation updates) and are available at
both of the following locations:

ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/WordPerfect/wpwin/9/
ftp://ftp2.corel.com/pub/WordPerfect/wpwin/9/

It will also be available in the next few days from the
support downloads website at:

http://www.corel.com/support/ftpsite/pub/
wordperfect/wpwin/office2000/index.htm

(the URL above is one line only. No extra spaces are implied
by the break - just paste the two parts together)

There are two files to download:

WP9SP2.EXE        66,172,572 bytes
WP9SP2_2.EXE    15,555,872 bytes

Both files are dated 12/22/1999.

=============================
2. Process
=============================

1. If you have Paradox Runtime (9.00.421) please do nothing.
Neither SP1 nor SP2 for WPO2K concern you.

2. At this time there are no individual patches or Service
Packs for any products in the WPO2K package. Service Packs
are for the whole Suite, and will simply not upgrade parts
that are not present.

3. If you have Paradox 9.00.367 or 9.00.368 (Paradox
Standalone, Developer's Edition, or WPO2K Pro) you must
upgrade that installation to 9.00.441, using WPO2K SP1
before attempting to use SP2.

4. If you have WPO2K installed, have applied SP1, and
subsequently altered, replaced, or regressed any of the
components, you must replace or restore those components.
One popular alteration is the replacement of POP90.DLL from
SP1 by the version from the original distribution. You may
find that the easiest way to do this is to uninstall WPO2K
completely and re-install it from scratch.

5. If you have complied with the instructions in 1-4 above,
you should be in a position to install WPO2K SP2. Reboot
your machine, close all Corel applications that may
automatically start in your configuration, and follow the
instructions in the release notes (section 4 below).

Please note that the above is based on _current_ knowledge.
While it is unlikely that any points here will "go away",
there may be extra items to add. If such come to light, we
will attempt to codify them and add them here.

Corel has indicated publicly that once WPO2K SP2 is released
work will resume on production of Paradox Runtime SP2 (called
that to show coincidence with the level of the ordinary
package.

If you are in any doubt about what to do in order to install
SP2, please:

a. proceed with the download
b. re-read this FAQ
c. _then_ ask questions on the NewsGroups.

=============================
3. Examples ...
=============================

This section will be filled with anecdotal reports of
experiences that may seem relevant to users. Please do not
take them as examples of the "Ultimate Truth", but of ways
in which other users have dealt with matters.

=============================
3a. Early Report of Experience
=============================

One user has already reported success in installing the new
WPO2K SP2 over the "old" version:

"Had already installed original SP2 a few weeks ago.
Downloaded new one (which is some 20M or so larger!) and
installed straight over the top of the original service
pack 2.

It will tell you the SP2 is already installed
and ask if you wish to continue (Yes!).
No problem - works like a dream - and the Word 97/2000
filters are back!"

=============================
3b. Problems with Presence of Suite 8
=============================

Following reports from users installing this patch
onto systems that also have part of, or all of, the Word
Perfect 8 Suite, including systems that just have Paradox 8,
indicate that the presence of such systems may cause the
install to become confused. This is a sequence recommended
as workable by several users:

1. Completely un-install WP Suite (v8, which did not include
Paradox). This did not disturb the various versions of Pdox
installed on the PC (Pdx7, Pdx 7 Runtime, Pdx8).

   Note: Step 1 may apparently be replaced by a copy of the
   version 8 files off to another machine and their
         subsequent replacement when the install is over.

2. Install Pdx9 SP1.

3. Install Pdx9 SP2 (remember to install both .exe files; one
for the WP applications, one for the help files). Pdx9 now
correctly shows version number 9.00.512.

4. Re-install WP Suite 8.

5. Re-install patches for WP Suite 8.

6. After everything is re-installed, you may receive the
error message  "Unable to Load Language Resource" whenever
right-clicking on objects (throughout Windows). The culprit
is a missing DLL in the Windows folder: SHLWP9EN.DLL
This file is contained in the self-extracting Zip file
attached to this posting.

=============================
4. Release Notes
=============================

These notes are those published on the Corel Web Site. I
have reformatted them to remain within the width constraints
of email, and also moved the Paradox section to the top, as
this is the Paradox FAQ. No other changes have been made.



Release Notes for WordPerfect Office 2000

====================NexCard.====================
* The following applies only if you have WordPerfect 8 on

 (with NexCard).
*      -If you did not install the NexCard SQL component
   during your WordPerfect 9 installation, (it doesn't
   get installed if you do a Typical install) then you
   will not be required to change your configuration.

*      -However, if you have WordPerfect 8 already installed
   and perform a custom install of WordPerfect Office
   2000 and enable the Nexal NexCard SQL Service
   Provider check box in the CorelCENTRAL 9 section of
   the WordPerfect Office 2000 Components dialog box,
   then you will need to properly configure your NexCard
   information service. Configuring this service will
   allow you to properly view your address books from
   Corel Address Book 8 and CorelCENTRAL Address Book 9.

*      To check to see if you installed the NexCard component:

*      1. Click the Start button on the Windows taskbar, and
                click Settings, Control Panel.
*      2. Double-click one of the following icons:
*       -Mail and Fax or
*       -Fail
*      3. Click the Services tab.
*      4. Click the Add.... button.
*      5. Scroll down the list of available services. If you
                see a service called "Nexcard SQL CorelCENTRAL
                Address Book", then you have installed the
                NexCard component.

*      To configure NexCard on a system that has both WP8
               and WP9 installed:

*      1. After installing WordPerfect 9, click the Start
                button on the Windows taskbar, and click
                Settings, Control Panel.
*      2. Double-click one of the following icons:
*       -Mail and Fax or
*       -Fail
*      3. Click the Services tab.
*      4. Select the service called "NexCard SQL CorelCENTRAL
                Address Book" and click the Properties button.
                If you do not see this service, click the Add
                button, select "NexCard SQL CorelCENTRAL Address
                Book" and click OK.
*      5. Click the box that says "Configure your datastore
                settings", click Next.
*      6. Select the No button, click Next.
*      7. Browse to the folder containing your Corel Address
                Book 8 datastore. The Path is usually
                    c:\corel\suite8\shared\address\database.
                Click Next.
*      8. Browse to an empty folder which will be used as a
                  backup. Click Next.
*      9. Click Finish.
*      10. You may now uninstall WordPerfect 8.
